The Dallas Cowboys are set to bolster their quarterback roster by finalizing a trade with the New England Patriots for QB Joe Milton III. According to sources, the trade has been in the works for some time and is now close to completion. This move comes as the Cowboys look to strengthen their offensive lineup for the upcoming season.

Joe Milton III, who has shown promise in his stint with the Patriots, was reportedly also on the radar of the New York Giants and Philadelphia Eagles. However, the Cowboys' offer was the most compelling, leading to the anticipated trade. The interest from multiple teams underscores Milton's potential impact in the NFL.
